[W] "Open Containing Folder" Error

"Open Containing Folder" in Search for Files and Folders does not work

When you perform a file search, and then click the Open Containing Folder in the context menu of the Search Results window, instead of opening the parent folder of the selected file, the Open With dialog may pop up, asking you to choose a program.

To resolve the problem, use these steps:

Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell

In the right-pane, double-click the (default) entry

Type the word none and press Enter

Close Regedit.exe

Reboot
